Abigail Villalpando, 18, became the first homicide victim in Aurora in over a year when she was killed Feb. 2. (Three teenage boys have been charged with her murder.) Villalpando worked as a waitress at a Denny's at 4330 Fox Valley Center Drive. From 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. tonight, Denny's will host a fundraiser to help Villalpando's family cover the cost of her funeral. Twenty percent of all sales for the evening will benefit the Abigail Villalpando Memorial Fund.
